for the front end not sure which year but there are wings with holes for side repeaters i think and wings without.

All depends on the year.

Yet another topic moved...

I believe side repeaters were added in '84. At the same time they fitted 8.4" disc brakes.

[frankiebateman]

Sorry jammy and the year of the car is 1987

You could get the front wings for a '59 I believe, you'd just need to drill out a hole for the side repeaters.

What panels are you changing, you can't fit '59 doors onto a '87 for example.

I thought side repeaters came much later on, with the injection minis. Alot of 80s minis i've seen haven't had side repeaters. Ofcourse this could be because earlier wings have been fitted to the car... for example on my car. Its a 1986 and doesn't have them.

I know of two '86 Minis, one has side repeater and the other doesn't!

If the body's not been modified give the parts supplier the year and chassis number: if you get supplied the wrong bits it'll be down to them to sort it out then.

I'm pretty sure that any car manufactured after April '86 has to have side repeaters.

Sportspack wings are different to early wings, although I'm not sure you can get replacement Sportspack arches?

As Ethel says, best to phone the supplier and say you need such and such a part for a (insert year and model).

[clubby-si]

i am positive that all minis after 87 had repeaters as this is when it became law!

[sazal]

My boyfriends '86 and my '87 have side repeaters...

Id get the panels from Somerford minis, if you tell em what mini youve got, theyll know which panels you need.
